Sperm and Eggs Cells
In this video we learn about the distinct differences of egg and sperm cells, which are also known as gametes. We will see how the chromosomes from each cells come together to form our unique genetic code. The gametes (sperm and egg...

Mitosis: How One Cell Becomes Two
We know that we are made of cells. But we start out as just one tiny little cell in the womb. How does that become enough cells to look like a baby? And how does that baby get enough cells to become an adult? The answer is mitosis! This...

What is Mitosis?
Mitosis produces identical copies of cells, and is involved in growth, cell repair and asexual reproduction - which is how simple organisms reproduce. When cells divide by mitosis, two new cells form and each cell is identical to one...
